Instant Star (2004) s01e11 Episode Script

It's a dirty little fact of life: We all have enemies.
No matter who you are, there's someone out there who doesn't like you.
Guys, listen to this.
"Eden cancels concert due to emotional distress.
"Claims Jude Harrison is stalking her.
" What is with psycho Barbie? She got Shay.
Why can't she just leave me alone? She's desperate for attention.
I'd say her 15 minutes are almost up.
Not loving that bass.
You? Lemme try something.
I figure there are three basic types of enemies: those who were once your friend; those who will never be your friends Tom? And those who come back to haunt you.
I told him you'd be busy.
You look good, T.
Older, but good.
Do you have a second? Is that who I think it is? Yep.
Chaz Blackburn, Boyz Attack's own.
He and Tommy were like brothers until Tom quit to go solo.
Okay, talk.
I do bookings now for "Music Helps".
It's a televised benefit-- I know what it is.
You want Jude? Go talk to her.
She's not the only one that I want.
What? You always wanted a chance to go solo.
I'm offering you that chance.
It's about time you get back on the mic.
"Music Helps"? I used to watch that with my dad when I was a kid.
Well, with your bum about to drop, we can use the free publicity.
I'm gonna get EJ on the press release.
What do you think? I think it'll be great for you, Jude.
Just watch Chaz, guy's always got an angle.
Well you're going to be doing it too, right? Oh come on, Tommy, it's one song for charity.
Show me the downside.
Look, I haven't performed in five years.
I'm not about to start now.
What, are you scared? No.
Tommy, that is so adorable! Look, producing's a full time gig.
I haven't written any new material.
I'd rather yodel than cover Boyz Attack.
Okay, then perform one of my songs.
I mean, they're just as much yours as they are mine.
I dunno, I Tommy, think about it.
Me and you, performing on the same bill.
You know you want to.
You should have seen it! Tommy was totally like this close to biting Chaz's head off.
Guess that's why they call it "Boyz Attack", huh? Bada-bing! I'm sorry, I'm off my game lately.
Kat still won't talk to me.
I call her anymore, I'm officially stalking.
Just give it some time.
I wouldn't talk to you right away either after what you did.
You wouldn't stick me with a shiv in the cafeteria line.
Kat? I'm not so sure about.
Here she comes.
Hey, Kat, do you have a sec? Look I know things between you and Jamie are tense, but, I mean, he's really sorry and we miss you.
So can't we all just go back to being friends? Jude? Let me give you a bit of advice, friend to friend.
- Sure.
- Go to hell.
She hates me.
She physically hates me.
Welcome to the club.
Wanna learn the hand shake? You know, this is all your fault.
This is what happens, Jamie, when you decide to hook up with someone's friend.
Easy young lady! I'll have you know there was no hookage.
Maybe you should try apologizing.
I did! I told her I'm sorry if I got in the way of you guys, but she's acting like I stole you.
Like I'm some hoochie.
- Like I'm some-- - Eden? Yeah, Eden.
Now she stole my boyfriend and she did it on national TV.
If anyone is owed an apology, Jamie, it's me! Jude, Satan in a half top, channel 8.
that I can talk about.
When Jude asked me to do "Music Helps", at first I was a little hesitant, but then I thought, if our duet can save at least one child's life, or whatever, them it would be totally worth it.
A duet? Look, the dueling pop star bit, it's the oldest P.
R.
trick in the book.
You know what? I'm calling Chaz.
I told you that guy's always got an angle.
I'm pulling us both.
So she can tell the whole world I punked out? No way.
I've been thinking about this.
I've got a plan.
- You want what? - An apology.
Before our duet at the telethon with everyone watching.
An apology? Forget it.
I'll just go on solo.
Right, Chazy? Sorry, doll, the bill's full.
No Jude? No dice.
Fine.
I'd be happy to, you over-dyed sore loser.
Thank you, you cradle robbing boyfriend stealer.
Done! We'll tease it at the press conference.
They'll eat it up.
I'm guessin' you can't always win I'm guessin' you can't always win I can't have anything I want They say I'm just too young But that's not my fault I'll find my own way home if I got-- Can you stop? You're hurting my ears.
What can I say? You made it yours.
I got to admit, it feels right.
It's the same direction I wanted to take Boyz Attack right before-- The big split.
What happened between you and Chaz, anyways? It's the same old story.
Boy meets band.
Boy becomes big star of band.
Band wants to kill boy in his sleep.
In the beginning, Boyz Attack was all about Chaz.
But then I started getting the attention.
It just killed him.
Chaz, he has no vision.
So the band got real stale real fast.
So I walked.
Don't you think it's time you guys made up? That's the thing with feuds, Jude.
The longer you let them go, the worse they get.
Man, girls can hold grudges.
I got to fix this before it gets worse.
Whoa, now? You don't know what chemical weapon she's concocting.
Anthrax isn't just a heavy metal band.
So, how was hell? They say it's a dry heat.
Kat I'll say it again: I'm sorry.
I'm sorry if I got in between you and Jamie.
I feel terrible.
Oscar buzz.
Look, I know that is because couldn't make your fashion show.
But I'm doing "Music Helps" tomorrow and I was thinking maybe I could wear a Kat design and mention your name on TV.
It's not much for penance, but it's a start.
I'm tryin'.
Okay, I'll come by tonight, but as your stylist.
That means no friendship activities, including movie watching, boy talk and gossip.
- Clear? - Clear.
Thank you.
For all you hungry press hounds, next up in our bill is a special treat.
Despite their incredibly busy schedules, both Jude and Eden jumped at the chance to lend us their support.
If my music can help the world, how could I say no? Thank you, Eden.
I'd like to I think I just threw up in my mouth.
Just admit it, you're jealous of me.
Why? You're not nearly as hot as you think you are.
Funny, that's what Shay said about you.
Okay, it's on.
Tommy, I saw this on "Law and Order".
It's justifiable homicide.
You wanna burn her? Sing her butt off the stage.
Until then, you just smile and say, "anything for the kids".
Got it? Now it is my great pleasure to introduce our final act of tomorrow's telethon.
Performing for the first time in five years Boyz Attack! Anything for those kids, right? What about the kids? The kids can help themselves, okay? I'm gonna kill Chaz.
A lot.
I had no choice, T.
Look, this is not all about you.
Some of us need this.
J.
P.
's got kids, man.
Bruno had to sell all of his swag on E-bay! So you ambush me in front of cameras? Not cool.
You know I'd never agree to a reunion.
Come on, it's just one song! Just something to get our names back out there and maybe boost our catalogue sales.
And you owe us, T! I owe you nothing! Okay, okay, can I just have him for one second? Thanks.
Can you stop freaking out for five seconds and think? This is not about reliving your dorky past.
It's about changing it.
What are you talking about? You're a producer.
So produce! Show the world a Boyz Attack that you can be proud of.
If I can suck it up to Eden, you can suck it up to Chaz.
One song.
Our last one.
That's all I'm asking.
I can't believe that Tommy and Chaz are working together.
And Eden's gonna be apologizing to me on live TV.
Guess it's just a time for forgiving.
Can you just stay still? I don't wanna stick you.
Sorry.
Wow.
It looks amazing, Kat.
You know, there's gonna be all sorts of hotties at this telethon.
Yeah, I'm not really interested in guys right now.
Thanks.
Where are you going? I rented movies! Yeah, I told you, I'm here professionally.
Kat it's just, how long is it gonna take till we're friends again? Who says we will be? Kat, wait! We've been friends for like six years.
I mean, you dated Jamie for what? Two months? I think it's time you get over him.
- Enjoy the dress.
- Kat! Oh my God! I cannot believe Boyz Attack is reuniting! I mean, I thought they'd hate each other forever! Nobody ever cared as much for me Nobody's touched my heart and healed my pain You've picked up the pieces And put me back together again Jude Harrison.
Closet Boyz attacker.
Sadie used to sing the song non-stop.
If I could forget the lyrics, I would.
You know, this new arrangement actually sounds pretty good.
Thanks.
It was just something I was working on before I quit the band.
Biggest mistake you ever made.
Thanks ain for doing this, man.
All the guys are in the boardroom.
We're ready whenever you are.
Chaz I want you to give this to listen, okay? I broke down the drum tracks, I amped up-- Absolutely.
Just, right after rehearsal.
I say we go all the way back.
Just take it totally old school.
Give them what they've been missing.
Five, six, seven, eight! Nobody ever cared as much for me Nobody touched my heart and healed my pain You picked up the pieces-- Hey man! What? Why not just air the damn video? Okay, look we won't wear the suits, just the bandana's.
Are we cool? No man, we are anything but cool.
This ain't 1999, all right? I'm just tryin gto help you guys not look like losers when you go out there.
No, you're a loser! You're a loser for walking out on a good thing.
We were a band until your spotlight-hogging broke us up! Nothin' changes, man.
You're still jealous.
You're still a prima donna.
What's the matter? Little Tommy gonna throw a little tantrum? Know what? This was a bad idea.
I'm outta here.
That's fine.
Go on, quit again.
That's the one thing that we can count on you for.
And we're gonna go on without you! And we're wearing the suits! that's just fine, I'm not looking anymore If this is it for me baby That's just fine, I'm not looking anymore For what will make me happy baby That's just fine, I'm not looking anymore Wow! That was Tara Maclean, Damhnait Doyle, and Kim Stockwood singing their song, "Happy Baby".
Well, keep the calls coming.
Thank you.
Did I get that right? Damhnait? Yes, you did! I get that "seltic" thing wrong.
It's celtic, right? See I can't even get that right.
Here we are! I'm standing here with two "Instant Stars": Jude Harrison and Eden.
Now I've been following your feud in the tabloids, ladies, and apparently the rumour is you're going to bury the hatchet right here tonight in song.
Yeah, but Eden has something she'd like to say to everyone first.
Right, I'd just like to say, well, I'm sorry Jude.
I'm sorry you're a played out rock cliche.
And I'm really sorry about Shay.
I guess he likes his women to be, well, women.
Let's go to Nancy on the phones.
Looks like it's gonna be safer over there.
If that's them burying the hatchet, I'd hate to see them when they're actually fighting.
- What's your problem? - My problem is you always playing a sulky victim and making me look like the bad guy.
What? You stole my boyfriend on national TV! You're the bad guy! Oh please.
You dated Shay for like two months.
I've had longer colds.
Get over it! Get over it? I loved him! Where are you going? You want the spotlight, it's all yours.
Just good luck with hitting my high notes.
You loved him.
It doesn't matter how long you dated him for.
You loved him.
Why didn't you tell me? I never even told him.
I couldn't stand how you wanted to sweep it under the rug, pretend it didn't happen; like it didn't matter.
It mattered.
It so mattered.
Back in five, four All my rocks are turning to sand Before my eyes One more reason to hide in my bed all day! Find her.
This is unacceptable.
She's not answering.
like it wants to shatter me! Shatter me! The world is crashing through my door Hi.
Where's Jude? Right now? On Georgia's hit list.
Nice t-shirt.
Where's the five-year-old you stole it off? Come on, you know you like it.
Shouldn't you be in a white suit by now? I'm not doing the reunion.
I walked.
What's your deal? It's about musical integrity.
to shatter me! Shatter me! - The world is crashing - Really? So when did it stop being about the fans? Look, when you were in high school, was there ever a band that you just connected to? You know, you knew every song; you lived for their videos; waited in line for concert tickets in the rain? - Yeah, of course.
- Yeah? You were that band for me.
For a lot of people.
How can you be ashamed of that? If you don't think that that's worth one five minute performance then maybe your band aren't the only people you're insulting.
I never thought I was better than you guys.
Any of you.
All right, maybe I did think that.
But I was wrong, okay? You weren't exactly wrong.
Jude slipped me a copy of the new arrangememt.
Better than we ever sounded.
Then maybe people should hear it.
Don't you think? Except this time I'm not going to be the one in the spotlight.
I'm sorry, too, you know.
I've never lied to you before.
I hated it.
I hate this.
So do I.
So you can forgive me? I can try.
I'm sorry.
Shoot! I have to go.
You wanna talk tonight? Yeah, I'd like that.
I was adrift on an ocean All alone You came and rescued me When I was far from home A rush of love around my heart Just as I fell apart Nobody ever cared as much for me Nobody touched my heart and healed my pain You picked up the pieces And put me back together I'll write your name in stars across the sky Stars across the sky And we'll drift away into each others eyes! - Yeah, yeah! - Yeah, yeah! Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah! Nobody every cared as much for me Nobody's touched my heart and healed my pain You've picked up the pieces And put me back together Nobody's ever cared as much for me Nobody's touched my heart and healed my pain You've picked up the pieces And put me back together again! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! Oh yeah! You put me back together again Wow! Boyz Attack together again.
What a fantastic way to end the "Music Helps" telethon.
You know, if you really wanted to tour, we could-- Don't even think about it.
You loved it, didn't you? You know me, anything for the kids.
Take another bow, kids, you deserve it!
